• Would be interesting to see what sort of price the Win Tunnel would have to be charged out at to be a stand-alone going concern. The proposition is that it's cheaper than other facilities, both capital and revenue, because it only goes up to about 60mph (~27m/s), whereas typical 'low speed' wind tunnels designed for automotive and architecture users go to anywhere from 50-100m/s. As we all know by now, twice the speed means 8 times the power, so the installed air moving plant at a 100m/s wind tunnel even of the same area as the Win Tunnel must be huge.

  • Have you seen Coggan(?)'s homemade mini wind tunnel? He used it to measure various brakes. Think it's on the the TriRig site. Upscale that slightly... how many Dysons would you need in reverse I wonder?
